House Author:  Naishtat

            Previous law required the comptroller to withhold from the amount of sales and use tax revenue refunded to a municipality or other unit that has withdrawn from a metropolitan rapid transit authority one-half of the difference between the cost of providing services in the unit to persons with disabilities and the fares charged during the period in which the tax was collected.  House Bill 504 amends the Transportation Code to require the comptroller to withhold the full amount of the difference.
